 Verb + Adjective
Hello,
Most English speaking people know the rule when using human sense verbs such as look, sound, smell, taste, feel (five of them). These verbs are followed by adjectives, not by adverbs as common, for example:
The hi-fi set sounds good (not well)
The salad tastes delicious (not deliciously)
Nevertheless, we also have some other special verbs which require adjectives followed rather than adverbs, such as remain, seem, become, come, keep, stay etc... For instance, please consider some sentences below:
That question remains mysterious (not mysteriously).
I still keep busy now (not busily)
The theory become true (not truly)
My dream comes true (not truly)
The answer seems different (not differently) from what he wants to know
So, someone please helps me summarize all the verbs like those above or shows me a simple rule to remember and use them in correct way.
Thanks. |
